418 South Illinois Avenue, Carbondale, IL 62901

A historic venue for performing and visual arts, live music, entertainment and community events.

Four young siblings recreate their everyday lives in a game of make-believe in their attic, while the world beneath them bodes a more sinister reality. Defying all narrative expectations, Make Believe is a gut-wrenching meditation on the imprint of childhood trauma on adults.

Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances begin at 2:00 p.m. All performances will take place at The Varsity Center in Carbondale, IL.
